One thing that sort of hints it might be a joke is the almost complete lack of Bible quotes? I mean, how many fundamentalist sites do you see which don't quote the Bible every other sentence?

Sometimes I think a lot of these alleged "atheists-turned-Christians" never really were atheists in the first place, and are just LYING to try to bait other atheists, and make them think it's ok to leave atheism.

In one of the later issues of his Biblical-errancy publication, <a href="http://members.aol.com/ckbloomfld/" target="_blank">http://members.aol.com/ckbloomfld/</a> Dennis McKinsey discusses the question of these former atheists, and he finds that those he knew anything about were more likely to have simply been indifferent to religion before they got converted.

And he claims that a serious philosophical atheist tends to remain an atheist.

Actually, that one of the 10C's does not forbid lying in general, but making false accusations; check some modern-English translations.
